What year did you start CrossFit?

2009

Why did you get into CrossFit?

I started CF to lose weight after having two kids. I fell in love with the friendly competitive atmosphere and the community. I saw so much positive change mentally and physically that I became a student of the methodology. The rest is history.

Why did you become a trainer?

I became a trainer because I genuinely believe in the power of functionality and capability. I was tired of exercising with what seemed like no purpose with little result. I wanted to help people have the same life changing experience I had through a great CF regimen.

What’s your favorite movement in CrossFit?

Bahahaha! I do love me some thrusters and burpees.

What is your favorite cheat food?

TexMex and any HOMEMADE dessert. I typically want to know who made it to know if it is worth falling off the wagon for!

What’s your favorite Superhero and why?

She-Hulk or Captain Marvel (I literally had to look up a list of superhero’s and spent waaaaay too much time on this.) 😉

What year did you start CrossFit?

2004

Why did you get into CrossFit?

While stationed in Fort Benning, GA, I heard about CrossFit from guys who redeployed from overseas raving about these brutal workouts they could do in any austere environment, and so I tried it out. I became hooked with the community and bonding experience from shared suffering and accomplishments.

Why did you become a trainer?

As I got more involved in Fort Hood, TX, I decided to get my Level 1 certification. A couple good friends we were working out with were creating a military affiliate on base, so I started helping those around me and loved assisting them in achieving new “firsts” and goals. The rewarding feeling of sharing in other’s accomplishments got me hooked.

Trainer

What year did you start CrossFit?

2011

Why did you get into CrossFit?

I was curious what CrossFit was, then when I got involved the former athlete in me became addicted to the friendly competition of it. The fact that I wasn’t doing the same thing over and over in the gym was nice too!

Why did you become a trainer?

Because Reagan needed trainers and she thought I might be good at it…I knew volleyball very well and felt comfortable only coaching volleyball. So to train people in something I was just becoming familiar with was a little scary. But Reagan was an awesome coach and motivator and friend…well here I still am since taking my Level 1 in 2012.

Why did you get into CrossFit?

I have always been active. I was going through a divorce and looking to get rid of stress and make new friends. I like pushing myself to see what I can do at my age. It’s always fun to make some goals and achieve them.

Why did you become a trainer?

I love learning new things. I love working out and helping people become better.

Qualifications:

Jen Wardynski

Trainer

What year did you start CrossFit?

2010

Why did you get into CrossFit?

I had a shoulder surgery in 2010 and physical therapy wasn’t going well, so I started rehabbing myself with CrossFit.

Why did you become a trainer?

I’m a physical therapist for the army, so my whole job is looking at and diagnosing movement. It’s nice to do it in this setting where you can see such immediate improvements in people with good coaching- I️ don’t always get that same interaction with patients during my day job.
